Webinars some examples.

What is a webinar

Short for Web-based seminar, a presentation, lecture, workshop or seminar that is transmitted over the Web.A key feature of a Webinar is its interactive elements -- the ability to give, receive and discuss information. Contrast with Webcast, in which the data transmission is one way and does not allow interaction between the presenter and the audience. (http://www.webopedia.com/TERM/W/Webinar.html)

Probably best watching live but most events are recorded for viewing at a later date.

An example from Learning Technologies

Description:
The internet and smart mobile devices have fundamentally changed how we look at learning and performance programmes. And now another technological advance is coming; one that will once again change some of our definitions and how we address performance issues: wearable technology. This technology will come in various forms, but the one that is blazing the path is Google Glass.David Kelly is one of the Glass Explorers (individuals exploring Glass before its public release) and has been investigating the different ways that Glass can be used for learning and performance improvement. Join David for a journey of discovery, and explore how the next wave of technological advances will impact the learning and performance field.

This session covers:What is Google Glass?What is the Glass experience like for the user? How do people react to Glass?What doors does Glass open for learning and performance?How are people already using Glass for learning today?Many more available from https://www.timetag.tv/learningtechnologies
